Oops! The text overlay on the BIGGER Carry On suitcase was wrong -- I accidentally inserted the regular Carry On measurements for both suitcases. The BIGGER Carry On Dimensions are: 22.7” x 14.7” x 9.6”. Sorry about that!
thanks, i had wondered about that. Did you end up having any overhead issues with this on your trip? and to confirm you have never had any issues on US carriers e.g. southwest or alaska or those types of carriers?
Nope!! The only times it gets gate checked is if the overhead bins won’t fit any sized roller bag. It happens very infrequently and only with older planes. It would affect you if you had the normal carry on as well, but again-that’s the exception more than the rule.
I have viewed many review videos for variouse products and i must tell you that you by far are the best person to review any product. Great and informative review....
This video was very helpful. I’ve been considering purchasing Away luggage for awhile. You saved me a lot of time and I can now make an informed purchase. Thank you!
Thank you! This was really helpful. I've been eyeing AWAY for quite some time now and I'm finally going to get one this week. Your review plus the helpful links you provided sold me. Thanks again. -Mac from Chicago
For those tiny european planes, the only one I've really found is Standard Luggage Company. No wheels, but it turns into a backpack very easily and is incredibly functional. It also expands to be about the same size as the Away carry on if you need it to. We did 10 days in it for 2 people (plus a regular backpack). Thank goodness for Airbnb washing machines! It did get heavy carrying to and from train stations, but otherwise it worked out perfectly!
Planning a tri-state trip from London > New York, Chicago and LA for about 11/12 days. I was going to get the large, but I think after your video I'm better off with a Bigger Carry On! Will make life easier and save me from checking a bag every flight. Thank you for making this video
One thing to note is that the portable charger takes up space in the suitcases, so if you want the most space possible, it’s better to buy one without the charger
This was so helpful! Bc of this video I not only picked the size but also color (I was torn between coast and sky and went with sky). Thanks so much for making it!
@@chaosbecomesher I actually ended up purchasing a Medium away bag because the bigger carry on was not going to cut it for almost 3 weeks in NZ in winter! I think if I had gone in summer or a season with less thick clothes it might have been doable.
@@samanthag6730 good to know, thank you! New Zealand has been on my list for a while, not sure when that will be anymore lol, but I just took advantage of the away sale and bought a regular carry on and medium suitcase.
Love this review. So through. The main reason why they don't include a rechargeable battery in the checked or medium luggage is because lithium batteries can cause a fire/explode when in the belly of the aircraft. I was debating on the tan colored check in but you've convinced me otherwise!! Thank you
Don't. I. Know. It!! We just ended up having to pay $180ish each in bag fees in order to get them on the plane. I'm glad we checked ahead of time, because it's even more expensive in the airport . Gotta do whatcha gotta do, I guess!
Thanks for your review, it's very clear and thorough :) Did you end up having any issues with the Bigger Carry-On on smaller companies ? That's my main concern.
Every airline has different sized planes. For example, I can't bring the normal or bigger carry onto American Eagle flights in the states. Both are usually gate checked, because those American planes are tiny. They fit on most planes, but if you're really worried, go with the smaller carry on to increase your odds of it fitting on the maximum number of planes possible!
I love my bigger carry on. I am going to Europe for 10 days and debating whether I can cram everything I need in it. I am a big guy, jeans and shirts take up a lot more space than your tiny clothes. LOL I will have access to washing machine the last 5 days. I was going to get the medium, but I think I am going to use that towards nice meals on the trip. I have the dark blue too.
If you don’t have a need to carry on your bag or if you aren’t changing locations frequently, then I would say go for the medium! The Bigger Carry On is just a bit more versatile for more frequent, shorter trips.
I thought the EXACT same thing, Alice! I have been on a UA-cam HUNT of the best, informative information for the Away Luggage(s) - I finally found a good channel that I am (now) subscribed to!
@@MaggiesTwoCents HI! Okay - So I posted that I would be using your referral link to purchase my luggage. Is there any way you could email the link to me directly? It will not apply when I click on it :(
Thank you!!! This video was very helpful as I'm in the market for a bigger luggage. Im interested in getting the medium size for my 2 week international vacay! I already own anothet carry-on brand.
I think the Medium will be perfect if you aren’t moving around a lot throughout your stay. It’s a pretty big bag, so the capacity is amazing, but it’s a little big if you’re changing locations and having to carry your bag up and down stairs!
Just got back from a 22 day trip to croatia and Sicily. All in a samsonite black label Richmond carry on. I’m now buying a bigger carry on with the outside leather pocket (in the colour of your medium) so exited
Wondering how well the cases can be rolled together in the airport. We are taking a Europe trip for 4 weeks. Want to pack a bigger carry on and possible get the medium. Was curious if the handles raise to the same height so that I could roll the 2 cases in one hand? Haven’t purchased the medium yet. Thank You for and info you can share.
Which suitcase would be better for a 10-day trip to Europe? I’m going to Europe for spring break and I don’t know if I should get the medium or bigger carryon. I’m not sure if I’m checking or doing carryon for the trip as my school has not announced that yet.
How fun! I think the Bigger Carry On is the way to go, especially if you’ll be traveling between countries or generally moving around a lot! It’s also the most versatile size that will be put to use a lot later on!
Hi! Thanks for the helpful video. Is the smaller carry on the one that you have to use for Euro travel? Because I know with the smaller/cheaper airlines they have very specific specs for your carry on. D.W.
I used the Bigger Carry On for past (and future!) Europe trips! The past couple of times I've gone, I was just taking direct flights to and from my location, and the Bigger Carry On hasn't been an issue. For my trip this summer, I ended up paying ~$180ish in bag fees for our flights between European countries, because their carry on limits are TINY (even smaller than the regular sized carry-on).
Can you store these all inside each other? I know the bigger carry on will fit in the medium, but will the regular carry on fit inside the bigger? Nice review :)
You said you never had any trouble putting the Bigger Carry On in the overhead compartments, so does that include airlines like American, United, or Delta?
Thanks for this video! I found it very helpful! For the smaller airlines that you took around Greece, how did the bigger carry-on hold up? Did you have to check it and/or did you have to pay extra fees?
I JUST got back from my trip, and I actually filmed a whole video explaining when we had to check luggage, when we could carry it on, etc! You can watch that here -- I hope it's helpful! ua-cam.com/video/0trAnYvHQIU/v-deo.html
This is GREAT! And very helpful! I'm going to Europe for 15 days and I'm debating between the Medium and the Bigger Carry On. I initially thought the medium because I'll be there this month, so it'll be cooler. But I'll also be taking a lot of trains/buses and worry about the size. Do you have any suggestions?
I think you should honestly be fine with either! If you are doing a lot of moving around, it's always easier to travel with smaller luggage, so I would say get the Bigger Carry On rather than the Medium. But you do have a point with the weather! When you have to pack bulkier clothing, it tends to be harder to fit everything in a carry-on. On the whole, you'll be totally fine with either -- especially if you are primarily traveling by train and bus. You'll have no problem with buses, as luggage is typically stored underneath, but double check train allowances!
I’m going to New York for my advanced choir from school. I’m going to be competing in New York too with my choir and I’m going to stay there for a week and the trip there is 15 hours to drive on our bus. Should I get a large suitcase or medium suitcase?
Hi! Great video. I was thinking of getting an Away luggage in Pink but I’m torn between getting the Bigger Carry On or the Medium one. I’ll be going to Disney World in May and I’ll be staying there for about 10 days. Which one do you recommend? Thanks in advance!
I think the Bigger Carry On is the most versatile overall, BUT if you're someone who doesn't mind checking a bag for every trip, then you can't go wrong with the medium.
would you recommend the bigger carry on for possibly 7 days & a few things to bring back? i am a minimal packer so i do a lot of mix matching & layering if it calls for it & at most 2 pairs of shoes wearing my most casual to the destination so i’m thinking i’d be okay.
Around mid March! When I got my bigger carry on it came with international plug adapters for the suitcase’s charger. They may only include the eraser in the medium since it’s required to be checked!
do you find having the carry on and bigger carry on suitcase redundant? i have the bigger carry on but want a little smaller size. i'm just not sure if it's worth spending the money.
I’d honestly say stick with your bigger carryon. I do give my regular carry on quite a bit of use, especially for 1-2 day trips, but honestly, you don’t need both and the Bigger Carry On is more versatile overall!!
Jason C honestly just get any packing cube. I got mine from Ebags like 5 years ago and still use them today. Brand doesn’t matter for this type of thing unless it’s designed differently lol
I honestly don’t use packing cubes! I tried them, and I just didn’t find that it was any more organized or helpful than when I don’t use them. I have the brand MyTagAlongs, but I agree with ohsobo in that you don’t have to have the fanciest version! If I could go back and buy some again, I would get some that are actually marketed as compression cubes. That would be the most beneficial!
Do you recommend the medium luggage for a college student moving somewhere? Or the larger carry one when u travel back and forth from college and home?
It depends on how much stuff you have, honestly! In college I would throw most things into my car, so I would say a medium should be fine assuming you keep some of your clothes on hangers. If you fold everything, the larger one may be better! But I think medium is more practical overall!
I'm going on a swim camp in october. As a swimmer I need to pack alot of sports items. We are going for a week, but I dont know if i need a medium size suitcase, or if i need a big one. (All the swim items take some space) and i want to shop a little while im there
If you are just packing for yourself, I think the Medium will be plenty big! The Large is big enough to fit enough clothes for 2 people for a week or more, in my opinion. I think Medium is your best bet!
Beware that the measurements supplied in this review are identical for the first two pieces; the second one is actually 22.7” x 14.7” x 9.6”. Converting to cm: 57.6 x 37.3 x 24.4 it is 4.3cm over the115cm limit imposed by many carriers. Would they catch it - who knows, but airlines love to assess fees these days. I know for a fact that Singapore air will require the second one shown to be checked. The first one will qualify as carry on with virtually all airlines and, as she says it will fit into the overhead bins.
It totally depends on the actual plane versus a full airline! Definitely do your due diligence ahead of your trip to determine when a bigger carryon will be allowed and when it will need to be checked.
I now have the bigger carryon, the everywhere bag, and just delivered today was the medium. Now I’m in a quandary about whether it’s big enough. Have you decided that the medium is big enough for whatever you may do?
I honestly use smaller luggage more often than larger luggage, because I'm a nut about carrying things on to save time and simplify the process of traveling. I would consider the Bigger Carryon to be the most versatile. I think the medium is plenty big for any type of trip! In fact, I'm going to be packing for a 15 day trip in the bigger carry on to avoid super high fees overseas. The medium would be ideal for that long of a trip, but since we are moving around so much, I'm making some sacrifices! Hope this helps!
What if they want to check inside your checked bag and you have the lock set combination? Would they end up having to break the lock to get into the bag?
I will be going to London, Paris, Pisa, Rome, Venice, Zurich, and Amsterdam this coming July for a 15 day trip. I will be getting an AWAY suitcase for my birthday in the next month. I would love to choose the Bigger Carry-On but I am afraid it of it being too bit. Do you think I will have an issue?
I honestly don't think so! With the bigger carry on, you will likely have to check it if you are flying while you are in Europe, but it will certainly fit in the overhead bin on your domestic flight that will leave the county.
Carry on Cass is for different types of many different things like activities and crafts and clothing fun things to do to airplane travel my name is Heather
Hi! I wanted to know if you recall how much your medium suitcase weighed when it was packed to capacity? Typically I’m limited to 50lbs for my checked bags and my current luggage is an XL. packed at capacity, is easily overweight, so I’m in the market for something smaller.
My most recent trip with my medium suitcase was 4 days Denver in the winter, and I was hauling a bunch of gifts with me. It weighed 35 pounds, which I was pleasantly surprised by!
Have you used your medium carry-on a lot? I’m thinking about buying one. I am going to have to check in a suitcase for our coming trip to Greece. We are flying SWISS and we are only allowed 17 pounds per carry-on. I am not sure if I want to commit to dragging a big piece of luggage throughout Greece.
I primarily use my Bigger Carry On, and I only turn to the medium sized suitcase when we were taking 1) direct flights to destinations where we 2) stay put for an extended period of time. When we went to Greece, we also went to Croatia, so we were moving around quite a bit! It was nice to have a carry on for lugging it through the stone streets; however, on the smaller planes that flew between Croatia and Greece, you had to check every size of rolling luggage. If you're not changing locations often while you're in Greece, I personally would pack in one checked luggage (the medium size) if you're going on a longer trip, since the carry on requirements seem strict on your particular flight with Swiss!
Hi-how did the Coast color hold up given you had to check it? I'm looking at that color for the Bigger Carry-on which I will probably end up checking some of the time on domestic flights. Thanks!
So far so good! The outer shell will get scratched and scuffed a bit-there’s just no avoiding it because of the type of material that it is, but it holds up extremely well given all it goes through in the unknown bag sorting world!!
I am a bit confused! You mention that the "bigger carry on" (baby blue) is 21.7x13.7x9 but on the "carry on" (navy blue) you stated that is 21.7x13.7x9. They are exactly the same size. So which one is the bigger one of the lot? (of those 2)
It was great! You will have to check it on smaller regional airlines, but as long as you give yourself enough time it really isn’t too much of a hassle! Almost no rolling suitcases are allowed on on the smaller planes, so be sure you research your airline ahead of time!
I would have appreciated if you’d just told us how much weight can they hold. I’m in the process of buying one and I’m not sure which size should I take. The 20” or 24” or 29”? How much in pounds or kilograms can each one hold ?
That’s not really a known metric when shopping for luggage, at least in my experience. There are 50 pound limits for airplanes, so that’s usually a good guess. Typically capacity is the known metric, which for the bigger carry on (the most versatile size) is 47.9 liters.
@@MaggiesTwoCents Thank you! We have a limit of 50 pounds here as well. And we're allowed two bags 50 lbs each plus a small 22 pounds one to take with you on the plane.
I know this might be a year after 2019 but in 2021 in March for spring break I plan on going to Florida for 2 weeks what’s the best options for suitcases to get

Around mid March! When I got my bigger carry on it came with international plug adapters for the suitcase’s charger. They may only include the eraser in the medium since it’s required to be checked!
I ordered my bigger carry-on on the 5th of April and a magic eraser was included
Does the Bigger Carry On store inside the medium bag?
Yes!
do you find having the carry on and bigger carry on suitcase redundant? i have the bigger carry on but want a little smaller size. i'm just not sure if it's worth spending the money.
I’d honestly say stick with your bigger carryon. I do give my regular carry on quite a bit of use, especially for 1-2 day trips, but honestly, you don’t need both and the Bigger Carry On is more versatile overall!!
Hi! Can size 24” inch pass as carry on?? Specially in delta airlines?
do you use packing cubes? if so, which brand is good?
Jason C honestly just get any packing cube. I got mine from Ebags like 5 years ago and still use them today. Brand doesn’t matter for this type of thing unless it’s designed differently lol
I honestly don’t use packing cubes! I tried them, and I just didn’t find that it was any more organized or helpful than when I don’t use them. I have the brand MyTagAlongs, but I agree with ohsobo in that you don’t have to have the fanciest version! If I could go back and buy some again, I would get some that are actually marketed as compression cubes. That would be the most beneficial!
Do you recommend the medium luggage for a college student moving somewhere? Or the larger carry one when u travel back and forth from college and home?
It depends on how much stuff you have, honestly! In college I would throw most things into my car, so I would say a medium should be fine assuming you keep some of your clothes on hangers. If you fold everything, the larger one may be better! But I think medium is more practical overall!
can someone help me? is a 30 inch suitcase too oversized? will i have to pay a baggage fee?
I'm going on a swim camp in october. As a swimmer I need to pack alot of sports items. We are going for a week, but I dont know if i need a medium size suitcase, or if i need a big one. (All the swim items take some space) and i want to shop a little while im there
If you are just packing for yourself, I think the Medium will be plenty big! The Large is big enough to fit enough clothes for 2 people for a week or more, in my opinion. I think Medium is your best bet!
So do you think the 21" is large enough for a 2 day trip?
Most definitely! You can pack for 5 days easily in the smaller one.

can all sizes fit in the plane overhead storage?
Beware that the measurements supplied in this review are identical for the first two pieces; the second one is actually 22.7” x 14.7” x 9.6”. Converting to cm: 57.6 x 37.3 x 24.4 it is 4.3cm over the115cm limit imposed by many carriers. Would they catch it - who knows, but airlines love to assess fees these days. I know for a fact that Singapore air will require the second one shown to be checked. The first one will qualify as carry on with virtually all airlines and, as she says it will fit into the overhead bins.
It totally depends on the actual plane versus a full airline! Definitely do your due diligence ahead of your trip to determine when a bigger carryon will be allowed and when it will need to be checked.
Great Video! Does the bigger carry on fit inside the plane (like over head bin) ?
Most standard size planes, yes! If it doesn’t, they will let you know while boarding and will gate check it for you.
I now have the bigger carryon, the everywhere bag, and just delivered today was the medium. Now I’m in a quandary about whether it’s big enough. Have you decided that the medium is big enough for whatever you may do?
I honestly use smaller luggage more often than larger luggage, because I'm a nut about carrying things on to save time and simplify the process of traveling. I would consider the Bigger Carryon to be the most versatile. I think the medium is plenty big for any type of trip! In fact, I'm going to be packing for a 15 day trip in the bigger carry on to avoid super high fees overseas. The medium would be ideal for that long of a trip, but since we are moving around so much, I'm making some sacrifices! Hope this helps!
What if they want to check inside your checked bag and you have the lock set combination? Would they end up having to break the lock to get into the bag?
Nope-TSA has a universal key they can use to unlock it!
I will be going to London, Paris, Pisa, Rome, Venice, Zurich, and Amsterdam this coming July for a 15 day trip. I will be getting an AWAY suitcase for my birthday in the next month. I would love to choose the Bigger Carry-On but I am afraid it of it being too bit. Do you think I will have an issue?
I honestly don't think so! With the bigger carry on, you will likely have to check it if you are flying while you are in Europe, but it will certainly fit in the overhead bin on your domestic flight that will leave the county.
Hi Erica. How did it go with the bigger carry on? I am also planning to use it.
@@IamBlessed-xb9cj I have not gone on my trip yet. I leave from Halifax, NS Canada on July 6, 2019.
Bigger carry on can be takin in flight???
Carry on Cass is for different types of many different things like activities and crafts and clothing fun things to do to airplane travel my name is Heather
Hi! I wanted to know if you recall how much your medium suitcase weighed when it was packed to capacity? Typically I’m limited to 50lbs for my checked bags and my current luggage is an XL. packed at capacity, is easily overweight, so I’m in the market for something smaller.
My most recent trip with my medium suitcase was 4 days Denver in the winter, and I was hauling a bunch of gifts with me. It weighed 35 pounds, which I was pleasantly surprised by!
Do they fit into each other for storage?
Yes! They do!
Have you used your medium carry-on a lot? I’m thinking about buying one. I am going to have to check in a suitcase for our coming trip to Greece. We are flying SWISS and we are only allowed 17 pounds per carry-on. I am not sure if I want to commit to dragging a big piece of luggage throughout Greece.
I primarily use my Bigger Carry On, and I only turn to the medium sized suitcase when we were taking 1) direct flights to destinations where we 2) stay put for an extended period of time. When we went to Greece, we also went to Croatia, so we were moving around quite a bit! It was nice to have a carry on for lugging it through the stone streets; however, on the smaller planes that flew between Croatia and Greece, you had to check every size of rolling luggage. If you're not changing locations often while you're in Greece, I personally would pack in one checked luggage (the medium size) if you're going on a longer trip, since the carry on requirements seem strict on your particular flight with Swiss!
Has anyone used the bigger carry on on volaris??? I’m scared I’ll have issues
Hi-how did the Coast color hold up given you had to check it? I'm looking at that color for the Bigger Carry-on which I will probably end up checking some of the time on domestic flights. Thanks!
So far so good! The outer shell will get scratched and scuffed a bit-there’s just no avoiding it because of the type of material that it is, but it holds up extremely well given all it goes through in the unknown bag sorting world!!
The dimensions you showed for the second luggage are wrong. It should be 22.7x14.7x9.5
Yep! I know! Take a look at the other comments :)
I am a bit confused! You mention that the "bigger carry on" (baby blue) is 21.7x13.7x9 but on the "carry on" (navy blue) you stated that is 21.7x13.7x9. They are exactly the same size. So which one is the bigger one of the lot? (of those 2)
Oh weird, sorry! The bigger carry on is the bigger one.
If you're still wondering about the dimensions: 22.7” x 14.7” x 9.6”
How was traveling with the bigger carry-on for international travel while you were flying between the European countries?
It was great! You will have to check it on smaller regional airlines, but as long as you give yourself enough time it really isn’t too much of a hassle! Almost no rolling suitcases are allowed on on the smaller planes, so be sure you research your airline ahead of time!
Where do you buy the stuff I wanted to buy
has anyone flown korean air with the bigger away carry on?
I would have appreciated if you’d just told us how much weight can they hold. I’m in the process of buying one and I’m not sure which size should I take. The 20” or 24” or 29”?
How much in pounds or kilograms can each one hold ?
That’s not really a known metric when shopping for luggage, at least in my experience. There are 50 pound limits for airplanes, so that’s usually a good guess. Typically capacity is the known metric, which for the bigger carry on (the most versatile size) is 47.9 liters.
@@MaggiesTwoCents Thank you! We have a limit of 50 pounds here as well. And we're allowed two bags 50 lbs each plus a small 22 pounds one to take with you on the plane.
I know this might be a year after 2019 but in 2021 in March for spring break I plan on going to Florida for 2 weeks what’s the best options for suitcases to get
